Problem: Bibtex cannot locate the biblatex.bst file in the proper directory. If I manually copy it to the local repository, it works great. It is finding the .bib file fine.
I recently installed MiKTeX 2.9.6637 and package biblatex version 3.11 (I am using bibtex 0.99d). This installs many packages and files, but principally, the .bst file is installed to texmf/bibtex/bst/biblatex/biblatex.bst for me this ends up being C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX 2.9\bibtex\bst\biblatex.
To Recreate this...I created a single article file article.tex:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{sources.bib}
\begin{document}
Lets try a citation \cite{IEEE}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
And a single sources.bib file:
@report{IEEE,
AUTHOR = {IEEE Power Engineering Society},
TITLE = {IEEE Standard Definitions for Use in Reporting Electric Generating
Unit Reliability, Availability, and Productivity},
TYPE={IEEE},
NUMBER={IEEE Std 762-2006},
YEAR = {2006}
}
Running in the console:
pdflatex article.tex
bibtex article.aux
Results in
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2015/Cygwin)
The top-level auxiliary file: article.aux
I couldn't open style file biblatex.bst
---line 3 of file article.aux
: \bibstyle{biblatex
: }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
I found no style file---while reading file article.aux
(There were 2 error messages)
It is unable to locate the biblatex.bst even though it is installed and in the texmf path. Copying the biblatex.bst to the local repository solves the issue with the new output
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2015/Cygwin)
The top-level auxiliary file: article.aux
The style file: biblatex.bst
Database file #1: article-blx.bib
Database file #2: sources.bib
Biblatex version: 3.8
Running the standard pdflatex article.tex bibtex article.aux pdflatex article.tex pdflatex article.tex
works great when the biblatex.bst is copied into the local repository.
Shouldn't it be able to find the biblatex.bst in the texmf path without any intervention?
